We Remember

Between 2000 and 2023, our nation has experienced 589 active attack events. There were a total of 4,044 people injured, and out of that number, 1,422 people died. This page attempts to list every name of every victim. Please alert us if any mistakes or omissions are found. We attempt to capture every name we can find to remember the victims.

Let us pause for a moment of silence to remember and honor those lost. ALERRT also strives to honor with courage and compassion the thousands of surviving families and those who risked their lives to save others.

Don’t Name Them

At ALERRT, it is our policy to refrain from naming the person or people responsible for active attacks. Research has shown that many attacks are the result of fame-seeking behavior by the shooters. By refusing to name them, we aim to remove fame and notoriety as possible motivators of future attacks. Below are listed several resources and research papers examining the effect of naming and the movement to deprive would-be shooters of any additional motivation.
